YouTube Music introduces a crucial feature for Wear OS users

A recent enhancement to the YouTube Music for Wear OS has greatly improved user experience by enabling song browsing within playlists or albums. Previously, when users accessed an album or playlist, they were directed to a simplistic page. This page only showcased the album or playlist name and two action buttons: download and play. The play function initiated songs sequentially, and if users wanted to listen to a specific song, they had to tediously skip through tracks.

The updated feature now displays all songs on this page, offering users the convenience to choose and play any song they prefer. Additionally, a visually appealing touch has been added with blurred album artwork as the backdrop. When a song from a playlist is selected, the ensuing queue will be that playlist, replicating the behavior seen on mobile devices.

However, an oddity arises when choosing a song from an album. Instead of following the album's sequence, it triggers a radio station mode, skipping the next anticipated track. To listen to an entire album sequentially, users now have to use the shuffle button, which has replaced the play function in this update. Ideally, initiating a radio station shouldn't be the default choice. If this remains unchanged, the shuffle function should be reconsidered to support ordered playback.

This song browsing capability was introduced in version 6.15 of YouTube Music for Wear OS, marking a pivotal improvement for the wearable's application, enhancing its functionality substantially.
